Thundering herd problem: Preventing the stampede

https://distributed-computing-musings.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/y-zr3cpaps-878x1024.jpg
The lightning herd problem occurs when multiple concurrent requests for the same cache key result in simultaneous database lookups, causing increased load on the database. To solve this issue, two approaches can be used: distributed locks on Redis and in-process synchronization using a ConcurrentHashMap, each with its own trade-offs and suitability for different use cases.

Categorical Foundations for Cute Layouts

https://i0.wp.com/research.colfax-intl.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/tractable-layout.png?resize=920%2C540&ssl=1
Researchers developed a novel approach to layouts for GPU programming, which includes a "layout algebra" and expressive layouts known as CuTe layouts. A robust mathematical theory underlies this approach, connecting CuTe layouts to the theory of categories and operads, and providing a new graphical calculus for computing layout operations.

Metamaterials, AI, and the Road to Invisibility Cloaks

Unweaving warp specialization on modern tensor core GPUs

https://rohany.github.io/blog/warp-specialization/h100-arch.png
Warp specialization is a technique used in modern GPUs like NVIDIA's H100 and B200 to achieve high performance by dynamically interleaving instructions from multiple warps. The necessity of warp specialization lies in three cases where it can deliver increased performance: resource constraints, variable latency instructions, and blocking synchronization.

Aerospace Structures
